Circles Lyrics

Cover art for Circles lyrics by Passenger

All of Anders lyrics leave so much up for interpretation, they can really mean a lot of things to a lot of people. To me, it could almost be about expressing yourself. 'He' could be just the inner part of the singer. The singer build up the courage to express himself, to introduce 'him' to the others:

Pacing around in circles Talking to himself He could see teh beauty there Talking to another one

The singer wants to show this other side of himself.

She came to see our city She came in the dead of the night I tried to introduce him But she got scared and ran away

She did not come to see him, she is just visitor passing through. The other side of the singer frightens her.

They came, thousands from far away They came a sunny day I tried to introduce him Now I'm talking to myself I tried to introduce him Now I am the one talking to myself

Now after showing all these others, the other side of him is just too uncomfortable with being exposed. Leaving the singer unable to express this other side of himself, left talking to himself.

As I said, it leaves so much up to how you look at it, which I love about Anders' lyrics.
